IMPACT:
Two vacancies have occurred on the City’s Budget Committee due to the expiration
of terms for the Ward 5 and Ward 6 positions. Each full term of the Budget
Committee is for a 3-year period, with the positions staggered to have two
vacancies occur every December. The recruitment process began last September
for a November appointment and the City received 2 applicants for Ward 6 but
none for Ward 5. The Council directed staff to delay any appointments at that time
and to re-advertise after the first of the year and encourage Ward 5 residents to
apply.
The City’s charge for the Budget Committee (Attachment 5) states as a qualifier “6
members from the Council and 6 citizens by Ward (Citizen members may not be
officers, agents or employees of the City, per ORS 294.336(4).
The Council is requested to appoint citizens to each of the two current vacancies on
the Budget Committee with both terms to expire on December 31, 2015
